Overview

Background & policy context:

Europe’s ports industry is a key economic pillar, with three quarters of goods imported and exported going through seaports. However, ports are also responsible for an increase in carbon emissions and water pollution. This is why it’s important to transform polluting ports into clean energy ports. In this context, the EU-funded SEANERGY project will design a master plan for the transformation of ports. To determine what gaps need to be filled, it will analyse the current situation among port stakeholders in Europe. The overall aim is for ports to become active members of the clean energy and fuel generation grid. Bringing together partners from across Europe, SEANERGY will carry out activities such as training, reskilling, spreading awareness and creating communication channels that will set the basis for the green port transitioning.

Objectives:

Contributing to reach the European Green Deal objectives and the Europe 2050’s goals, the SEANERGY Project aims to provide a solution for exploiting the untapped potential of EU-ports energy’s system by implementing the SEANERGY Master Plan which assesses stakeholders to execute the necessary activities towards transforming ports, regardless of their geographical context, into active members of the clean energy and fuel generation grid of EEZ. Activities such as training, reskilling, awareness spreading and communication channels creation, will set the basis of the green port transitioning, creating spaces of dialogue and teaching among all agents of the industry (private and public), which will, in turn, boost the development and integration of these technologies, along with prepared professionals that will be able to manage and implement them promptly, securely and efficiently. The SEANERGY project will be developed in 3 stages: (1) understanding of actors and port E&F systems and identifying limitations; (2) developing the Master Plan and Handbook, which will serve as a training manual for stakeholders, as well as implementing the Industry-Academy programme to train future professionals in clean energy technologies and fuels and how to apply the knowledge in ports; (3) expanding the scope of the Master Plan beyond Europe.
